Lord HOLLAND also moved; that the order made out for his Motion on Thursday next, o the general policy of the Orders in Council, be disclyriged; and that a new order be made for Thursday se'unisht. AMERICA. Lord GRENVILLE rose to pit a question to the Noble Secretary. of State, before the House entered on the important discussion which vv:ei this eight to engage their attention, respeCtieL; a topic, winch of • late had often been Alluded to hi the course of. de bate. The subject to which rt.i . Crreti was' tim as sertion made by the Noble Secretary; to :rs.l..tared ly with no design to mislead, that the Treaty signed with America, by the late Administration ; lad been received in America previous . to the separatiou of Congress ; and that the Treaty was refitscd to be'ra tified, and was sent baelt . by the PreSideoref the United States. Now he believed he - might 'sately venture to assert, that'neither of these asSerttees were founded in' fact ; and if the Noble Secretary 'hid ad •tanced any such assertions without due considera tion, he was convinced that his usual candour would incline him to acknowledge the inadvertence. This, in his mind, was a topic that could not Le too urea insisted upon, and which was likely soon to come before their Lordships in a variety:Of shapes.' Not only,' he believed, the Treaty ; in qtrestant had not been received in Ameri6 bcforceongress had sepa, sated ; but that might very well be the reason wity it was supposed :he President had refused to ratify, and, why number of insinuations were .sttldiouSly sent abroad of . the predetermined hostile dispoSit ton on the part - of America. ' But : it not. in Atnerica only that such notions were, propagated, Every thing here seemed anxiously seized .taut conkl stir up a spirit of animosity against inctiza, and pre pare the public mind for that coun try, than Which there was nothing he telt more dis posed to deprecate. . .Lord 11411/KESIWItY wasuot aware. that any thing, which bad fallen from him ott anytOrtner occasion could be so interpreted, and lie u'as de:in-Lies to rectify any error or mistake into which he, way have 'fallen upon this subject. To the .bet of hid trecolleCtien, what hehad bifore:shitid on this point, in answer to a question put tci hint,' was this— that ati official copy of the Treaty, together with a dispatch frOrti.the Noble Secretary of s:are (Lord Howick), had been received America antcce...tit to the separation of Congtess ; that is to say, it was received by the British Minister at Washington on the 2d of March, and the Congress, he believed, separated on the 3d of the sante Month; that butte `diattly upon the receipt of it, Mr. r.rskiuc communi cated it tO Mr. NLitidison; who cotntessiric tied it to the President ; that the report tit the friiival of the Tre,ty had very generally gone abroad, and in eon • itequcitt. , e fit* that report, the Senate aunt a. ni;:. , 4t..;,q;e• to Lat . ! expiC.:;ing V1 , 5!1 Cc), (Wow it It in:cntion to ini..e ally corninanicati to tiwt,t j , - -,ievions to.

Sir CHARLES POLE, pursuant to noikie, rose to submit his Motion'lo the *House, founded upOn the 14th . Report of the .Com Missioners of Naval Iu quiry. :The ,itija of the Bid which ' lie had to propose, was - to'carry into (lea both the spirit and the letter of the Chafer of. Greenwich Hospital.— Before he proceeded to make his Motion, he begged that the Report- of the Curnmk,sioners, who had been.a ; pointed•on a t",;rtner oce,:sion to inquire into the stale of thin Hospital, shOuld be read. By the charter of the Hospital, which 'vas granted in the 16th Geo. 11,1. it ~.%•as required that ali t the officers of the Hospital should he persons . who had served. his Majesty in the navy,4and had list: limbs ur been disabled in the st'rOce. ...Chi.: provisions of the Cwrit .4, It, opp, ineci, had not .. been. complied with ; but it was nut the objett of his 'Bill to inter :fere .with any:of the existingappointniems or emo-, luments its sole purpo,d being to in uvide that the charterishoill 1 in rat ure be compiie t with both in letter'imd- to spit it. .Aninher part ot hi, 13111 would .provide tiir a public swing, by requiring per Sons holding such unices - to give • up their half -Tay, . Hi s Bill was also - to extend to the Institution of the Na val Asylum, which had been established thr the en couragement of the naval service ; nodifeter thete had been a time when they ougist to kfo every thing consistent with conlonly and he intc.rest of the ser, vice for thaeobjett, it was the present. These were the Clauses which he intended to introduce into this Bill ; and there was also another, to- provide that the. Bill Should. not ?mend to any persons holding offices at tins moineia either Pi .the Naval Asylum or Greenwich Hii;p though it was to provide, that in future no persons but Such as had served a certain number at years in the Navy, or been dis abled in the service; should hold any onicein either e:staulisluneut. It - had als.o been his inteinimoo t o in : trodhce a Clause to pit:Vide that all soots , ;vintiao fur the use at •:Green %viol) Hospital shouid Gz.! paid Into the Bank of -EtigLinti 5 bin t as lie.OntleistoodAhat re gulations WI-c to Lie adopied which would render that Clause untivcos;:aiy, he sto.;id not press it. - He tberefort.... moved to le tve tiriog in a Hi!! .14, the encouragewCut S , ..rAce, by regulating the uppoiDi ti,t• Oa Ct'rg lu the - Naval • Asylum, and in Mr. 11,0 SE htnicd, r ival iinii.ediately after his npn pointment to fhe..office:h4. then held, h('' had in quired into the facts .. s:ated pr . . Report of the missioners of • N • aval and ` - that quence of repit,s(:,l:,l:i:)..:. by Lim tQ the Ad miralty, prosecutions were. carrying on aga i nst the persons woo lied heen guilty of maKerkition ill that department. Ent having said this, h u did not think that the Hon. 114ronet had made out case tel Ole Rouse to accede ti ) his - motion. About, yi; an ni?r,:iry 1p(1. been.rncle into the C; ielf Hospital, but le L ij:i;;lti,•. ~.,liietment was iliought necessary. 'Nara weve offices, such 'fiS that of Organist, Siltveyor, and Archite4, which persons of naval cchicai....,n would tzar be competent to fill. The Au ditorwa4 otlic.:r Whd rtfluired a competent skill in ihe law. The Noble Lord who, now held that office had succeeded, Lord ~Thurlow, who; Must be allowed to have, been skilled in the law. Besides, the Revenues of the. hoSplial exceeded 160,a001; per annum, and the Beceixer.would require other'quali= •ficationS than a na'val education.' sAstothequestion respeaing the Naval Asylum, he thought that the Hon. Baronet would do well to wait for the Report front the CoMinissioners on that. head: He was as desirous as any person that none but those who had served in the Navy should be employed in the Of- !fines of that Institution, for which they . would' be qualified; and if, when . the regulations of the Com missioners should be produced, the Hon. Baronet 'should not. be satisfied with them, it would be per - fet.tly competent to him to move lot: such a measuid: :as the preseni.. _ Mr. It' BITBREJ/D was 'of 'opinion, that Many . musical - persons weth disabled in the - Navy, who ffi might he competent to the office of organist ; and observed,: that the Right Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down, and another Gentletnah, 'a Member of that Huuse, were. proofs ,-thet• a naval eduCation did not render per Sons unfit for, such offices as those be had mentioned. At any ra'te, seafaring -men might hold sinecure phices as well as any other de-• • scription of persons, and it appeared that the barber of. theeliospital e Mr Henry Clew, a Swiss, employ ed and derived an incmhe of 1501. per annum horn his office, Without havingfanyduty to perthrin, but the superintendence of the shaving of the Pensioners. He- highly praised••the labours of the Naval Commissioners, and of the Hon. Baronet in particular, and he was decidedly of opinion, that no person should be allowed to hold any office in either the Naval Asylum, or - Greenwich Hospital, "who was not a seafaring twin. - LOCKHART regretted that the Hon. Ba ronet had couirectedthe two establishments, which were so diffin - fmt in their objeds and nature. The Naval Asylum had been instituted by ptibllc spirit ed'persons, as strongly attached to the naval_service as 'the Hon. Baronet, who - had subscribed a shm of e0,0001 1 . - for the establishment. Ike •prope.,al of thulium Baronet,went to show a distrust that men having acted under such motives would not make tiegulations for its management io the same spirit. Such distrest might excite discoOtent in the navy, and a hike warmness in those who•had originated and promoted the institution. The. Cominissintsera were composed of seventeeu Gehtlemeu of 'the ni• Vy, ate! eleven who had not_ been of that profession. The latter could udt die late any thing inimical 'to the ineerests of the navy, and• he therefoie ttiought that those who had framed the institution in favour of the, navy, shoold not ,he deprived of their infiu eneeuPnit it by •the Inot ion of :the Hon. Baronet. PONSUABY observed, that the aro mentseMployed applied only to that part of the Mo tion'Which concerned the Naval Asylum, and not against that which applied to the eatryince into effe# the Charter r of 'Greenwich Hospital. That Chatter had, it appeared, been departed from, and-therefore there was a necessity for the iotefferepee of ;Parlia ment... He suggested, therefore, to the Hon. Ba ronet, whether he ought out to separate the Objects of his Bill, and move, • in' thefirstinstance, tier to regulate,Greenwich Hospital ; and afterwards, , it should - be necessary, bring forward, a Mot tut) ler a Bill to regulate the Naval Asylum i . Sir CHARLES - POLE acceded to the sugges- ••1 tion of the Holt. Gentlenian, - and eentioed his Mo., tion to the first objeete • • PERCEVAL Kaid, that as the question bad been narrowed; he 'should then only say, withye, spet'd to the Naval Asylum, that it would .be tent. to the Hon, , Baronet to more pn Address tit his Majesty for the Regulations of the Commis, sioneis, and to make them the subje& of any further proceeding he might think ;necessary. But as•to the remelt - I;6g part of his Motion, °he did not. think. the House could agree to it without- having the Charter Of the Hospital before it. It was as much the duty of the Trustees, under the-Charter, to corre& any abuses that might exist, as it would if an Att at Par liament were to pass for the porpoie. But the g n upstio was, whether it would be desirable, if only a single candidAe, who had'heen eonneetod with tke navy, should Offer for an office, who might not be ns \cell qualified as other candidates, that any peremptory order, for hiS • eppeintineot should be euzicted. He contended that there was nu necessity for ::it Att Of Parliament. The Hon. Baronet had'heen, whilst in the offiee of .a Lord of the Admiralty, in a hij oation. to correet these abuses, and if he had not dame • So, it was not matter of blame to him, as lie .had followed the course, her sued by his predecessors, and if any mischief had arisen, it twist . have .been, only front inadVerteney on his part. The House he . %%la sure would not accede toF the 'Motion, Until it should have th'o ter of the Hospital before it. Sir JOHN _NEWPORT contended, that -every statement of the nigh tH oneurable Gentleman shelv ed the necessity of the As abuses' existed, it was highly necessary. that an Act of PailiaMent should be.made to correct them. • And many of the Trustees would be glad to be proteMed. against the appliCations of their triends by the provisions . of an Aet of Parliament. The Honourable Baronet ap• peered t o hint to deserve the thanks of the Houseand of the Country for, his accurate attention lo the in ,,f a profession to which lie was an ornatneut and ; I the enhtness of navel mcii for the Offices . in the Hospital, he ocver could, 'forget . that the late Ijord !Jaucellor had,been in that profession. Air. K. MONTACi Li I stated ; front his local and rin..on.ll‘ knowledge of an estate 'belonging to the that lid 111E111 unless loea4 acquaint ed with the .'.ip..:a.tinstances .and nature: of the pro . - pert). eottid be'capahle of condueting ur L n it for the interests of the Hospital.. Mr. l'ot,E , CARIAV contended, that either thera were ittlies-,in ; tbe Charter, requiring'persons holding utfh:c..s . to be seafaring men, or there were not ; anit thin in either . chle, it would be necessary for the.: Hopse to interfere,' to allow person's. to be ap pointed, or to prevent persons not qualifwd from be itlig appointed. Sir • JouN ORDZ awl Mr. Lint , : said a fk:w words, but in so low a tone, that we colld not 0.,11e . 1 sentiments. Sir P. BURDETT was extremely surpt iced •at the 'opposition . given to Allis Bill, Which wits to t?-- medy gross abuses acknowledged to he exiiting. that 'had been said applied solely tope Bill, the ceptionable . .parts of which, if any, might be to t ofit.' The t principal obje& tie had in rising, ails to thank the Hon. Baronet for the Course he'was pur suing in spite of all obstacles. He could not sup 'pose, that the House could obje& to the introduelion of the Bill, because . no negative had been given to the statement of the 'Hon. Baronet. From what he saw, he never had. been more astonished, than at the frivolous objeCtiOns which had been made to theyno tion. The Obje& of the Bill was to infliCta penalty on those who should violate the provisims of the Charter; and he 'did hope, that the House would never come to an)t determination that , would pre clude the Hon.' Baronet from bringing forward his. Bill. • " APdivision then took place, For the Motion Against it - 52. • - 7 B 7B • Majority On - the,Motion oL Sir C. PoLs it was ordered that there be laid before the House a Copy of the last Charter of Greenwich Hospital. MUTINY 00.1- On the Motion of the SEClterAlir AT WAR the House went into a Committee on the Mutiny Bill. Lord CASTLERE4GH would explain shortly the raisons on which he was induced to recommend the proposition he intended to submit to the Housed All. the reasonings and statements conneeled.with the Army were so familiar to the House, that he would have heldhimself bound, in regard to the time attics llotere, to offer his moticm without nny prefaCe, if the Right Hon. Gentleman . oppoSite (Mr. Wind ham) had not, very causelessly in hiS opinion, taken • alarm, as if this motion contained in it a principle ruinous to the Military System introduced by that Right Hon. Gentleman a short time since. To maily.parts of the Right lion. Gentleman's System he had uo objeetion 3 the inducements held forth to • certairr desCriptions of rltrn, by the liberty to engage for liMited service and by the creation of additional pensions, he highly approved of. But what he com- , plained of Was, that the Right Hon. Gentleman con sidered his measure As prescriptive, to be preserved without addition or alteration, contrary to what had ever happened with. respect to any other measure. He had no objeetion to limited service, and he had formerly promoted, to a certain extent, engagements , bthited in space as well as in time.- But why shou!d limited serviee be in a manner enforced, to the total eXclusion of unlimited service, even when.the were perfettly satisfied, and desirous. to enter wide odisc4itation. On former` occasions the men for linriteil service were kept in separate battalions. • , The Right Hon. Gputletnan mixed them, It was . it& intended to interfere with this, any more thau *ith any other kart of the Right Honourable Geu tletnan's arrangement. .The Right Honourable;. .Gent.leman complained mud) of the change about to be introduced in the excitiive form of his mear sure ;'but no measure, no military system, cotildrea sonibly.elaiin an exclusive and unalterable sanainti. The ltiiht Hon. Geialetunn play hold, himself • charged from all respousibilliy. for thismeasure, after the alterittitjus . proposed ~ to neintrodeced. All re, sponsibility in ,matters of this kind, belonged proi .. perly, it not exclusively, to those who; were hound to supply. every thing that.was deficient, to corrtt, every thing . that ivas vicious in the existing system. The House would form: its judgment without any of that alarm which the Right ,Hon. Gentleman felt, in - .his opinien,:Twithont, any ground.' The Right • Hon. Gentleman b t a no right to complain of tbL 4 Hs 'premature intertetence with his meaSure. Titi" Bight. Hon. Gentleman's system was as premalure ly and abruptly introduced to :the abrogation of the Force Att, then growing into full efli- Citiney. - The Right Honourable Gentleman'SMc.: 800 had been posed two years ago; and had been in opQratiou twenty months; and...when the Returns should. he examined, it: would be found distinet from every other. in this respet9, that it, made bo addition to the prior strength of •the army.
